Mary crushes Satan... again. - The Incarnation - Bk3 - Ch28

The Venerable Sister Mary of Jesus of Ágreda describes how Satan, along with his 7 Legions persisted in tempting and trying to intimidate and scare the Blessed Virgin Mary to no avail. The Blessed Virgin Mary tells us that when we resist Satan and his demons they become extremely weak, "...the silence which the soul should maintain when the invisible enemies advance with their specious reasoning, should not prevent it from imposing silence upon them in the name of the Most High, and from commanding them to leave its presence in confusion. Therefore, I desire this to be your prudent behavior when they assault you; for there is no other defense so powerful against the dragon than to be conscious of the power which we possess as children of God, and to use the advantage which this confidence gives us by exercising our dominion and superiority over the infernal spirits (Matthew 6:9). For the whole aim of Lucifer, after he had fallen from heaven, consists in enticing souls from their Creator and in sowing the seed of discord, by which he hopes to separate from the heavenly Father his adopted children, and the spouses of Christ from their Bridegroom. Whenever he perceives that a soul is united with his Creator and in living communion with its head Christ, he tries to surpass himself in his furious attempts at persecuting it; his envy arouses the utmost exertion of his deceitfulness and malice for its destruction. But as soon as he sees that he cannot succeed in his attempts because the soul takes refuge in the unfailing and unassailable protection of the Most High, he weakens in his attempts and begins to writhe in exquisite torments. If the soul, thus strengthened with the authority of God’s truth, despises and casts him out, there is no creeping worm or ant so weak as that giant of iniquitous pride."

Awesomeness

This is very inspiring …words of wisdom as you can listen to over and over again. I actually bought the books after listening to this, but I enjoy to listen to it more; and I like the change of voices for the different characters in the narration. This is wonderfully done and the Ave Maria music in between chapters is a beautiful short little grace.
